Korean ferry death toll passes 210

Two weeks after a ferry sank off South Korea’s southern cost, divers have recovered 212 bodies from the wreckage, but they are still fighting strong currents and floating debris in the search for 90 passengers who are still missing.

After several days of sluggish search efforts because of bad weather, divers retrieved more than a dozen bodies from the ship on the ocean floor, triggering a fresh outpouring of emotion by family members waiting for the return of their loved ones.
